    Well, I guess I've been reported for steeling vectors? That escalated nicely.

    Yes, the concept for the icon was used on the design deliberately, because, well it promotes the same event so the overall design relates to the subject. Like one would use the panda when making a banner to promote WWF or use the world cup trophy when promoting a game from the FIFA World Cup, etc. The pro and con of use of existing concepts in designs is clearly a topic that could be discussed, however the subject of the later mentioned post was not something that couold be interpreted as start of such a debate.

    Contrary to the defamatory claim in this post: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/50-contest-need-a-banner-for-the-international-literacy-day.2729392/page-2#post-19020028
    nothing was stolen. Design was custom made by me. First concept was was made out of built in shapes in photoshop. Yes the globe did use a free vector as a template. Used resource can be found here: http://www.vectorworldmap.com/
    The map vector was rastesized in photoshop, spherized with the built in Filter tool and the resulted outline was used as a vector mask on a regular circle shape to create the final image of the globe.

    The used resource was linked to the contest holder in private message. Upon request the design was changed and the free resource was left out from the creation process.

    @uttoransen As I mentioned in my pm yesterday, I shouldn't have replied to the degrading post, but unfortunately I did thus I feel at fault in turning this contest thread into something that it should not be.

    @urbanlucas May I remind you that if I was as mature and professional as yourself, I would probably filing a different kind of report on the basis that your post can be interpreted as publicly accusing someone of the act of steeling, which can be regarded as defamation. Fortunately I'm not as professional so I ight as well just use the ignore button.

    @Smyrl I could understand if you'd removed this post from the thread, because I myself admit that it might be a little overreacting and wordy, but since you posted part of the report in the post publicly, I do feel that my response (even if it wasn't necessiary) does belong in this post too.

    Hello friends,
    thank you for your excellent entries, here's the feedback:

    hey katesrobyn,

    It's a shiney graphic, but it's still pretty basic.
    Please add some graphic elements,
    Looking foreword to your next entry,


    @me2_me2, Yes that is a very good entry to start with,
    You can use a more catchy font, make the background a bit more reflective, shiney ...
    make it more targeted towards reading/writing literacy,

    looking foreword to your next entry,

    @Illuminate-Graphic,
    sure, looking foreword to your entry,

    @Hayes, surely, looking foreword to see your entry,

    thanks,
    Uttoran Sen,
